Three cases concerning contributory action and re-engagement, injury to feelings and blacklisted airline pilots come under scrutiny in this week’s NLJ. Ian Smith, barrister, emeritus professor of employment law at the Norwich Law School, UEA, and author of NLJ’s monthly employment law brief, comments that cases on re-engagement, the first in the trio, are ‘relatively rare’. This case ‘shows how carefully an employment tribunal must construe exactly what is expected of it when considering re-engagement’.
Second, Smith highlights the ‘lengthy consideration’ in a recent case of how to approach awards for injury to feelings.
Third, Smith considers the questions raised in a case where an airline created a ‘blacklist’ of pilots who had taken part in industrial action in order to withdraw certain employee benefits.
